Send us a textFor we know that our old self was crucified with him so that the body ruled by sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves to sin — because anyone who has died has been set free from sin. Romans 6:6-7In Roman 6, Paul shifts his focus from justification to the practical. As the MacArthur Bible commentary states:Paul moves from demonstrating the doctrine of justification, which is God’s declaring the believing sinner righteous (3:20–5:21), to demonstrating the practical ramifications of salvation for those who have been justified. He specifically discusses the doctrine of sanctification, which is God’s producing actual righteousness in the believer (6:1–8:39). Do you ever feel like you've missed something because you don't feel like you're dead to sin? I know I do often. What Paul shares is that regardless of our feelings, it's true, we are dead to sin. He says, "In the same way, count yourselves dead to sin but alive to God in Christ Jesus." Romans 6:11 So, the issue isn't whether we've been made new, it's whether we believe it and live like it.  Remember, Jesus said. "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy and my burden is light."  Matthew 11:28-30Join me in reading Romans 6 and be encouraged!
